Another Close Call.

Last evening heavy blast on Ru-
bidoux sent rock weighing about
fifty pounds into the air that fell
within twenty feet of L. M. Hollis
residence just outside the fence, and
another smaller stone fell inside the
fence still nearer the house striking
a board on which Shirley Holt was
sitting. He got up just in time to
give the stone free right of way.
One rock weighing from fifty to
sixty pounds was hurled yesterday
noon distance OF 1000 feet or more
striking in Eight street east of MIR.
Knapp's residence. Another rock as
large as mans head was sent over
Walnut street and struck within 100
feet of Waterman's residence, Such
a blast as that will reach at least forty
families, endangering two hundred
lives.
If this carelessness continues, the
authorities will be called upon to in
terfere. We need a hotel, but we
don't need it bad enough to sacrifice
the lives of the women and children
in that part OF town.-Riverside Press.

Successful Enterprise.

Every man or woman who purchased stock
in the companies.who are selling the Wolf
skill, Porter, Providencia, and other large
ranchos, will acknowledge that they never
made better or safer investments. The de-
mand for good land is so great that all large
ranchos that are bought at any reasonable
price, will certainly bring to the purchasers
an immense return on their investmest. The
same enterprising gentlemen who are so sue
cessfully managing the ranches above men,
toned, have been fortunate enough to secure
$4,000 acres of the best land in the famous
Lankershim Ranch in the San Fernando Val
ley, only eight miles from Los Angeles
The syndicate who purchased this fine
property, are about to form a company to
own, and subdivide, and sell this 10000
acres. The.irst purchasers of stock will get
the land at $65 per acre by subscribing for
the stock at 800 per share on very easy
terms.
The sale of stock will begin Tuesday, Au-
gust 2ne, at the offices of BYRAM d POIN-

Street Paving.

The contractor for paving Main
street, on the southern side of Third
street, has completed removing the
earth as far as Fifth street on one side
of the street and half way on the
other side. In few days this part of
the street will be rolled and the
cement put down. 1t will not take
long to finish the two blocks after that
work has been commenced and the
assessments for the blocks between
Fifth and Seventh streets should be
paid in shortly, so that there shall be
no delay in the work. No sign has as
yet been made by the contractor for
granite pavement on the northern
side of Third street and the people are
to get anxious about the
matter. They think he should be
stirred up by those who have the
power SO to do.

Transformation by Climate.

Persons who have seen the tall
graceful slippery elm as it grows in
the States of New York and part Of
Pennsylvania, frequently rising to the
height of hundred feet, will be sur
prised to see along the upper waters
of the Mojave the same plant growing
as shrub ten or fifteen feet high and
loaded in springtime with large and
brilliant yellow flowers. Yet such is
the fact, as anyone can see in the Ca
ion Pass and along the upper Mojave.
These shrubs form beautiful land

Painless Regulation.

though the contrary was once believed-that
medicines which produce violent effects are
unsuited to other than desperate emerg.
encies. In other words, that super potent
remedies are calculated to weaken and

which copiously and abruptly evacuate the
bowels Because it does not do this, Hostel
drenching class of purgatives. Painless in
its effects, it is sufficiently active to remedy
chronic constipation. 1t relieves by invig-
Grating the intestines, and enables, not
forces, them to perform the duty imposed

and contributes in no small degree to keep
the bowels regular.
